Access to Experts

This list is designed as a tool to help those organising Japan-related events. Most people on this list can tailor their workshop or presentation to different audiences and are willing to visit schools.

However, to ensure that your event goes smoothly, please note the following basic guidelines:

explain your needs and the nature of your event to the expert clearly at the outset, so that both you and they are certain that they can fulfil your requirements.

discuss the number of sessions you would like them to do and agree a fee for the work. If you need to make any changes to your programme, let the expert know as soon as possible.

find out whether you need to provide any special facilities or resources for the session

Inclusion on this list does not imply recommendation by the Japan Society. If you know of someone who should be added to the list or have any general comments or feedback, please email and let us know.

Please use the links on the left to view the list by genre, noting that some genres have more than one page of contacts. (In this case there will be a ‘next’ link at the bottom of the page.) If you know the name of the person you wish to contact or the activity you are seeking, you may find the site ‘search’ facility helpful.
